Compared to right now where everything is decided by like Ohio and Pennsylvania? Your vote inherently matters more in a direct election because it cannot be rendered meaningless just by living in a state that doesn't share your political belief. There are more Republicans in California than any other state and their votes are effectively invalidated by the EC. I've yet to actually here a good argument for the EC that isn't just vague "but NYC will control everything" or the deification of the founding fathers.

Rural areas arent 100% Republican. It only seems like they are because of our current system which paints them with one of two brushes and thereby disincentivizes dissenters from voting because, why would they? Its a waste of time. The current system of people in Wyoming matter 3 times more than people in California and lets let a handful of low-population swing states decide the election is far worse than lets have everyone vote equally and pick who wins. If Republican policies arent popular enough for them to win without cheating (EC), then they need to adopt better policies. <cite>Kami_no_Kami posted [p:976872094] in We should ...

Ironically, the state that gets fucked over most in terms of House representation is Montana. The state most over represented is deep blue Rhode Island - by nearly double Montana's level of representation. Were_Wyrm posted... Honestly fixing the EC is as simple as fixing the number of reps in the house. There's no reason to cap them at 435, other than one party not wanting to lose control. texanfan27 posted...

The reason being gerrymandering would impact the actual reps serving and the districts that selected them in that scenario. Electoral college is based on the amount of reps and senators states are allotted which is not directly related to their districts within a state- which is a concern of gerrymandering. The issue of the allotment of reps is a separate issue but gerrymandering is related to it downstream. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.
